Biography

I am a Senior Lecturer in Finance at the University of Northampton. I have been actively involved in teaching, research and administrative activities for the last 25 years. I taught at reputable universities in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia besides monetary policy research and implementation at the State Bank of Pakistan. I hold PhD in investigations of financial fragility in banking systems. Over this long journey, I have designed, reviewed and taught more than 20 modules at undergraduate and postgraduate levels including the MBA executive programs. Currently, I am leading course modules on risk management and equity investment at University of Northampton. I have also contributed in training and development of civil servants and mid-career corporate professionals in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. My main teaching areas include economics, finance, accounting, banking and risk management.

I understand and give value to honesty, diversity and openness. I also encourage students and provide support towards professional qualifications including Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and Financial Risk Manager (FRM).
